Bill > HB289

This bill amends Missouri state law to require limited liability companies (LLCs) owning real property in certain jurisdictions, specifically now including St. Louis County (a county with over one million inhabitants), to file an affidavit with the county clerk. The affidavit must list the name and street address of at least one natural person who has management control and responsibility for the owned property, whether it is rented, leased, or unoccupied. If the designated management contact changes, the LLC must file a successor affidavit within 30 days listing the new contact person. The bill stipulates that no fee can be charged for filing these affidavits. If an LLC fails to file the required affidavit, the bill allows any adversely affected person, the county, or the home rule city to petition the circuit court to compel the LLC to file the document. This requirement appears designed to increase transparency and accountability for property ownership by creating a clear point of contact for each LLC-owned property in the specified jurisdictions.
